Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Tufnell Park
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. On the menu are gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days for families and a monthly fish and chip day.
Care homes in Tufnell Park often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
